Uncool Uniforms: Hotel Polana

Where: Avenida Julius Nyerere 1380, Maputo, Mozambique

We just hope all that "flair" is on his doorman's jacket because he wants it there and not because management at the Hotel Polana says so.

Maputo's Grande Dame

Where: Avenida Julius Nyerere 1380, Maputo, Mozambique

Tomorrow is Maputo Day, and for those geographically challenged Maputo is the capital of Mozambique. No where celebrates Maputo Day like the Grande Dame.

The colonial style Polana Hotel takes you back to times before wireless (although there is free internet access), dining requires "smart casual dress", and when a room at the capital city's gem hotel was a mere $200 a night.

Guests will enjoy panoramic views of Maputo Bay. Maputo is a walkable city, and the hotel's location is great if you happen to lose your passport (close to the embassies), want to dine without being smart casual (near lots of great restaurants), or are doing business with the government (hopefully less sketchy than it sounds).

If nature is your thing, and the lush gardens aren't doing it for you, go north. Unpaved roads and vast country reveal another side of this amazing African country.

Happy Maputo Day Eve.
